Piperville is a small rural community in Cumberland Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, about 4 kilometres southwest of Carlsbad Springs and 16 kilometres southeast of Downtown Ottawa. History Piperville was originally marshland, with what is now Russell road having been used as a trail for Algonquins on their way north to bring goods into Ottawa.
